Eleven Days Ago…

We celebrated the Feast of the 3-Kings here. The fiesta started with a grand parade on January 5 and ended with gift giving on January 6:

It´s a hundred year old tradition here in Spain. The feast is never complete without eating the traditional ¨rosco¨ and so dieting had to take a backseat for this day. ;)

Who coudn´t resist this delicious concoction of  a tasty piece of round bread filled with mouth watering whipped cream? No, it´s not just an ordinary whipped cream, it´s  flavored with orange blossom essential oil which made the whole conction a truly  melt in the mouth! Moreover, in other bakeries of Spain, the bread could be added with ham, more dried fruits and fruit jellies, etc, etc.

So for once, I gave in and calories be damned. hahaha! Anyway, here´s what I wore on the parade:

It was drizzling and so a good pair of suede rubber shoes is necessary. It isn´t bad that the heel added a few inches to my uhurm ¨cute¨ frame too. ;) So how´s everyone? I have a lot of interesting posts lined up just for you. Stay tuned!

Hugs,

Che

  1. Oh wow! The rosco looks so sinful! I must eat that when I go back to Spain, if God willing, this coming August. Good to see you, Che.:)
